💅 ixgbe_ptp_adjtime(9) — the Kernel API Manual page, bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about ixgbe_ptp_adjtime — a function that does exactly one thing and does it iconically. Let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_ptp_adjtime —

and honestly? that's it. that's the whole name section. the description after the dash is literally empty, no cap 💀 the manpage said "you'll find out in the DESCRIPTION section" and moved on. main character behaviour, tbh.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_ptp_adjtime (struct ptp_clock_info *ptp , s64 delta );

so it returns an int, takes a struct ptp_clock_info *ptp and an s64 delta. that's the whole signature. she's clean, she's precise, she ate 🔥

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ptp — the ptp clock structure 💖 this is the clock bestie we're operating on.
  • delta — offset to adjust the cycle counter by ✨ this is how much we're shifting things.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

adjust the timer by resetting the timecounter structure. that's the whole vibe — no extra lore, no side quests. you want to nudge the timer? you reset the timecounter structure and you move on with your day 💅

sign-off era 🧚 this page came from that source path that got cutely truncated to ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and it's page ixgbe_ptp_adjtime(9) all over again at the bottom because manpages love a symmetry moment 💜 okay bye, go adjust some time ✨🍓
